Rusty_OToole Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Best call a locksmith about the keys. Some old timers still have the blanks or they turn up on ebay.You used to be able to get keys from the dealer or from a locksmith by quoting the serial number. This will still work if the locksmith has books that old and if your car has the original locks.You could also look around for spare keys, some owners kept them hidden on the vehicle. Look for a little magnetic box under the bumpers or in the fender. A long shot but you never know your luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzer3 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 The door locks are easy to remove and they should be the same as the ignition. I took the door lock from our 50 New Yorker to a Chrysler dealer and the service manager managed to make me a key. A service manual explains the lock removal and installation process, you will need a manual.Good luck,Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
